[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll address them one by one- I have 2 teens.

Doesn't brush their hair.  - let it go.  It’s her hair. She’s old enough to manage this.

Doesn't go to bed. Doesn't sleep for more than 7 or 8 hours.   Is she waking up for school? If not, take away electronics.  If she is, it’s okay.  7 hours is fine. She can catch up on the weekend. The rule should be she can’t wake you up past a certain hour.

Doesn't go to their paid activities. - stop signing her up for activities.

Doesn't eat breakfast. Doesn't finish their meals.       - stop managing what she eats. You sound controlling.

Doesn't grow. ???

Doesn't do their chores. Doesn't help out around the house. Doesn't clean up after themselves.       -  Tie it to something she wants. She can’t have her phone, or computer or ride to the mall until she does xyz.

+1.  I was the poster right above you.  I took doesn't grow as doesn't improve themselves.  Unless this person is a troll or truly unwell.[/quote]
